I've always been of the opinion that, once spring training is over, baseball does not belong in Florida.

Their pathetic attendance, despite fielding reasonably good teams and building state of the art stadiums, proves my point.

Maybe they could use those stadiums to join a Latin American winter league.

I used to think the same thing about Arizona, but the D-Backs actually sell seats, including those in a swimming pool.

>>What has moving to Miami brought the Marlins? About 100 extra fans per game. That’s the current gap between this year’s attendance and the average gate count for the Marlins’ last season at Sun Life Stadium, the football field that owner Jeffrey Loria blamed for the team’s long-standing attendance and revenue woes.
Those problems ended up following Loria to the government-owned Marlins Park, which is on track to face the worst fan rejection of a new baseball stadium in at least a generation.
